"Can I use your knife?"

[WK ONE]

Do you let your work colleagues borrow your knife for everyday tasks? I have a guy I work with who is always asking to borrow my knife, even after I gave him a cheapo one with a decent edge for him to use. Where is it? 'Oh, I left it at home". *facepalm*

 

[stabman]

"No!!!"

No.Just No.

I am very very particular about my tools.I have no problem cutting something for someone or doing other tasks for them involving tool use...

But you cannot use my tools!!!

Disclaimer: I have housed and fed myself successfully since age 18 with my tools and my trade.
One learns early on how fabulous a truly good tool is...and how quickly an untrained user can ruin it.

I turn 54 this year.

Not now, not tomorrow, not ever. I did see a guy at work that has a Kershaw Ricochet, such a cool knife.

Not at all, I do offer them to buy one of my knives.

Ok that's hilarious.I have a neighbor who wants to borrow tools to work on his car.

I tell him the best place to buy them.

After about the 3rd time I had to cut something for my one of my guys, I ordered them all benchmade minibarrages. After 2 months, they where all lost and ruined. Wouldn't cut a plastic bag. They came to me wanting more. I ordered them gerber paraframes and I won't replace them.

The best thing I've found for them is multitools. They actually take care of those. About once a month I bring the edge back for them on the blades on a cheap diamond coarse stone. They think they are light sabers after that.

Nooope!
First thing the gross f***'ll do is shave some spitty hair off his greezy arm with it. :barf:
I eat with the thing man...

"Knife? What knife?"

Luckily I haven't had to use that line while the knife was in my hand.

 

[skyhorse]

NO and don't ask to use my toothbrush!

 

[Aias]

"No!!!"

This. That about covers it.

I've been known to say "I'd sooner lend you my wife or my car than my motorcycle or my knife."

Of course, some knuckleheads very mistakenly think that's an invitation to hit on my wife.

 

[Bob6794]

Very few people are allowed, and that's because I know they know how to use a knife properly. Everyone else no.

Before this I've handed someone a knife before, brand new kershaw and I didn't even sharpen it so it was factory sharp and less than 5sec latter I hear "Oww" as they hurt themselves. Than I have people declaring my knives are too sharp and are dangerous, etc. What's funny is I don't think I ever handed one of those people a truly sharp knife that I had just sharpened, and well I tend to make factories knives look dull at this point.

May I cut something for you?

 

[Esav Benyamin]

If they don't have a knife of their own, they won't know how to respect yours.
